Superman

Chapter 388: A Nightmare, Cause and Effect

The dazzling sunlight awakened the sleeping Amazon princess, and she slowly sat up from the bed.

The gentle sea breeze blew from the window sill and lifted the white gauze curtain.

Diana leaned against the head of the bed blankly, watching the tiny dust floating in the air, her eyes were slightly lost, seeming to remember something.

A piece of the thin quilt slipped from his shoulders, revealing a large area of ​​white skin, without even noticing it.

"dizzy."

She felt dizzy, like a hangover.

After a while, Diana, who was a little cheered, stepped barefoot on the soft carpet.

There seemed to be something wrong, but she couldn't remember it all of a sudden, so she could only look at the furnishings in the room.

Everything is familiar, it is her bedroom in Paradise Island.

Hanging on the wall is a brilliant painting by Gaia, the mother of the earth. In Greek mythology, this mother of the gods created the world, which was the golden age of the gods.

After the silver age of the twelve titan gods, Zeus joined other brothers and sisters to overthrow his father Cronus and finally ascended to the throne.

He established a new ruling order on Mount Olympus and wrote the Bronze Age of the new god.

Long swords and shields hung on the wall, and flames burned in the fireplace, emitting bursts of heat.

Diana's consciousness seemed to fall into a hazy psychedelic.

All the scenery looks illusory, but it is real.

The quaint armors of Amazon women warriors are lined up on the shelves with exquisite patterns carved on them.

She gently stroked the complicated lines, and the inexplicable feeling in her heart became stronger.

She took off the silk-like white robe, and her tall, vigorous figure was exposed in the room, her shiny skin glowing with a faint light.

The slenderness and the roundness are intertwined, forming a perfect curve, like a statue of a god of beauty.

"Why did I return to Paradise Island?"

Diana put on close-fitting clothes, and then put on a metal armor made by Vulcan Hewittos.

The skills far beyond mortals and the special materials make this body flexible and defensive at the same time, and will not delay walking, sitting, lying, and fighting.

Holding the long sword tightly and holding the shield, Diana walked out of the room with her head high and chest up like a Valkyrie.

The wide promenade was quiet and silent, only the sound of "ta-ta" footsteps echoed.

The Amazon princess finds it strange that Paradise Island rarely has such a quiet moment.

Usually full of noise and shouting, the sound of those strong and powerful Amazon female warriors fighting and fighting with each other always echoes over the island.

Walking slowly, Diana stepped out of the promenade, and the dazzling golden light fell on her.

As if crossing a certain line, the noisy and hustle and bustle rushed over.

Like a turbulent wave overwhelming the sky, suddenly poured into his ears.

The noon sun seemed a bit dazzling, Diana's eyes were in a trance, and she narrowed slightly, only then did she see the hot scene.

As always, the Amazons are training hard and honing their skills.

The spear and the sword fought with each other, and there was a powerful metal crash.

Ancient and primitive cold weapons, placed in the hands of these powerful female men, can exert tremendous damage that people can never imagine.

The violent wind swayed from the side rounds of ripples, and they were in pairs, conducting fierce and dangerous combat training.

For the Amazons, bloodshed and injuries are not terrible.

They enjoyed the hearty feeling of the battle, and the comfort of squeezing out their potential.

"Diana, my daughter."

Hippolyte turned his head, his gentle eyes fell on the Amazon princess.

In the distance is the blue sea, and several white seagulls pass by the water.

The tide rises and falls, beating the beach.

The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

Everything is so beautiful.

Paradise Island?

How can I be on Paradise Island?

This question came out of my mind again.

Suddenly.

Diana remembered.

He clearly wants to walk with a man and travel to the human world.

But who is that man?

Diana got a headache, and her consciousness seemed to be swept away by the tide of memory.

A faint mist enveloped all of this, and the vivid scene in front of him quietly passed away.

Like an illusory dream, the world gradually blurred.

When the fog cleared, Diana opened her eyes wide and saw the sky covered with dark clouds and lightning and thunder.

A huge sea monster filled her sight.

The slippery tentacles slapped like a thick whip, making waves several feet high.

Diana wanted to hold the sword to meet the enemy, but found that she was unarmed.

An unprecedented sense of weakness enveloped the Amazon princess.

I saw the terrifying sea monster as huge as an iceberg, opening its mouth wide, as if to swallow her.

The infinite darkness approached, Diana was a little helpless, she subconsciously called to her mother.

"Do not be afraid."

The deep voice sounded quietly, as if the light dispelled the darkness, making people calm down.

Diana's flustered mood gradually calmed down and disappeared.

Those fragmented memories flooded in like a tide, and the spiritual world fell apart in an instant.

"Luke, why are you here? This is Paradise Island?"

The Amazon princess, who woke up again, saw a pair of soft eyes, and that young face that looked particularly kind appeared in front of her.

"The blood of that sea monster is very poisonous, and even the strong physique of the Amazons is still affected."

Luke pushed Diana back, who wanted to sit up, and said with a smile: "But I'm not a doctor, so I can't provide treatment. I can only take you back to Paradise Island and give it to Queen Hippolyte."

"They gave you the blessings of the gods, and they did some magic...it should be fine now."

The Amazon princess slept in a dazed manner, completely unrelenting in her former heroic appearance.

"Is that so? Am I awake now, or am I still dreaming?"

Diana held the quilt in her hands, her whole body shrank inside, only her head exposed.

"You can squeeze yourself, if you feel pain, then you wake up from a dream."

Luke shrugged and joked.

Maybe it was because the mind turned too slow to react, Diana actually did this.

She squeezed her cheek severely, then let out a cold breath with a "hiss" sound.

"It seems that I need to ask Queen Hippolyte whether the sea monster's poison will leave a sequelae of lowering IQ."

Luke laughed blankly, and Diana, who had awakened, looked like a simple child of four or five years old.

"By the way, did you have a nightmare just now?"

Diana stared angrily at the bad guy in front of her who was making fun of herself, and shook her head vigorously: "How can Amazon women have nightmares! We are fearless!"

"Oh, is this the case? I must have heard it wrong. Someone seemed to panic calling Queen Hippolyte."

Luke smiled and said jokingly.

"Damn fellow, if I had the strength, I would definitely jump out of bed and give you a good look!"

Diana was speechless for a while, and said angrily.

As an Amazon princess, when did she get ridiculed like this?

"Well, since the princess does not want to see me, then I...retire."

Luke raised his eyebrows and went back to Paradise Island, which he didn't expect.

Of course, there are many things beyond his expectation, not just this one.

"I didn't say that..."

It seemed that Luke had been hurt, Diana was a little lacking in confidence and explained weakly.

"By the way, how about that sea monster? And who is that... the guy with the harpoon?"

Well, it seems that the Amazon princess has also learned the trick of changing the subject.

"That is a sea beast domesticated by Atlantis, called'Kroll', which means a poisonous and dangerous monster."

Luke's eyes flickered, and he did not expect that the new changes in Marvel's five creation gods would actually be the flash point paradox.

"The guy with the harpoon is called Arthur Curry, the prince of Atlantis."

When he saw Aquaman appear, he probably guessed that this is the world of Flashpoint.

If it is the origin story of Wonder Woman, there can be no Arthur Curry.

Moreover, the sense of sight of this accident is very serious, which makes Luke feel inexplicably familiar.

If he guessed correctly, according to the original plot, Diana should have gone to sea alone, leaving Paradise Island, wanting to go to the outside world.

It happened to hit the sea monster Kroll and Arthur Curry.

Diana was poisoned and passed out into a coma.

Then he was taken back to Atlantis by the young sea king to recuperate for a while.

Because of this, Paradise Island and Atlantis, these two also hide their existence, and their overall strength is higher than the existence of the human world, they have come into contact.

The undersea people and the Amazon people had the first exchange.

And serving as a bridge of friendship between the two sides are Amazon Princess Diana and Sea King Arthur Curry.

The young men and women collided with a spark of love in a flashpoint world where everything was distorted and turned upside down.

Paradise Island and Atlantis, the two forces have reached a marriage.

However, this matter did not go smoothly, and caused dissatisfaction and opinions from the opposition of Atlantis and the conservatives on Paradise Island.

So at the wedding, Mera, who was supposed to be the queen of the sea, as well as Arthur Curry's younger brother, Ome, the lord of the sea, and the female general of Paradise Island, united to plan an attack.

The Amazon queen Hippolyte was unfortunately killed, and then the king of Atlantis also died, and they became victims.

The vengeance of killing the mother is not shared, and the marriage of Paradise Island and Atlantis naturally fails.

Instead, there is a raging war.

Diana became the goddess of vengeance and cut off Mera's head with her own hands.

And Sea King Arthur was blinded by hatred, and blew the horn to counterattack Paradise Island.

The fierce conflict between the two forces involved the human world.

First, London was flooded by the tsunami caused by Atlantis.

Paradise Island took the lead in occupying Athens, Greece, and invaded the land.

In this way, because of a failed marriage, the world once again stepped on the brink of destruction.

This is the main thread of the flashpoint world.

The reason why Luke would say, this is a distorted space-time born out of error.

The main reason is that everything in the flashpoint world has changed.

First of all, the Krypton spacecraft carrying Superman did not land on the farm in Kansas, but fell into the metropolis, causing huge casualties.

Superman, who did not get the name "Clark Kent", was taken and detained by the military. He has not been exposed to the sun once since he was young, and he has become the material for various experiments.

Then, Gotham.

That sinful alley where every mention of the birth of Batman has to be taken out.

It was not Thomas Wayne and Martha Wayne who died in the shooting, but Bruce Wayne Jr.

His father became Batman because of this, and his mother became the Joker—is this some kind of official appointment, indicating that Batman and the Joker are a destined pair?

There are countless similar changes.

Every member of the Justice League, their destiny trajectory has shifted.

Hal Jordan did not get Abin Sue's green light ring, just an ordinary pilot.

The treatment of Sea King Arthur Curry and his brother, Ome, the lord of the sea, has been exchanged.

The former was deeply trusted and favored by the King of Atlantis, while the latter was not to be seen.

Of course, the most important thing is that the Flash Barry Allen fulfilled his wish.

He saved his mother and did not let her die in the murder of Reverse Lightning.

The price paid is the disappearance of the speed force and the identity of the Flash.

This is the flashpoint world.

The impact has spread to the multiverse, leading to a new chapter in the DC studio.

"Atlantis..."

Diana thoughtfully, she had heard the name in the book collection on Paradise Island.

"Damn the undersea people, if you meet again next time, you must teach them a lesson!"

Diana didn't notice it, her destiny trajectory shifted again, the Amazon princess with a sense of justice in her heart clenched her fist and said seriously.

"There will be a chance."

Luke smiled meaningfully. Since it's the world of Flashpoint, it's time to play.

Should I go to Barry Allen first, or reverse lightning?

Except for the two of them, the whole world only knows the truth.

This is a distorted space-time born out of mistakes, which will be corrected sooner or later, so that it will converge and die.

Therefore, no matter how big a disaster occurs in the flashpoint world, it will not have a direct impact on the main universe.

But it is also the only way for Luke to lead to the main universe. Letting the situation develop will only make himself trapped in this distorted world corrected by the inertia of time and space forever.

After clearing his thoughts, Luke came back to his senses and found Diana in a daze, looking at himself.

"Is there anything on my face?"

He raised his brows slightly and asked calmly.

"I have a lot of questions, such as why did you disappear after the ship capsized? How did you escape from the huge sea monster? And why did you not get poisoned? How did you bring me back to Paradise Island? ?"

Diana frowned slightly, seemingly full of doubts.

"Then you can tie me up with the mantra lasso and let me be honest."

Luke's smile remained unchanged and said lightly.

"Forget it, my mother said, don't explore other people's secrets too much, it will only make things worse."

Diana pondered for a moment, waved her hands happily, and said softly: "And I remember that in the books about the human world, many married couples have their own secrets between them, which is something that no one can share. ."

"So, let you keep those secrets, and tell them when you want to tell me."

Luke chuckled lightly, as if he thought it was funny.

This Amazon princess has never been to the human world, but always pretends to know everything.

I have to say that such Wonder Woman is really cute.

"Anyway, thank you for saving me."

Diana looked at the young man sitting in front of her and said solemnly.

"Eh, why are you looking at me with such a strange look, is it because you are moved?"

Luke shook his head, pointed his finger at the Amazon princess's chest, and the corners of his mouth curled up: "No, I wanted to remind you that the quilt slipped off."

The proud scenery appeared in his sight without any obstruction.

Can only say, what a big evil!

If you bury your head in, you will surely suffocate, right?

Luke thought so.

After being reminded, Diana hurriedly lifted the quilt to cover up the snow-white skin and attractive curves.

Although there is no difference between men and women in Amazonian common sense, she has not exposed her physical habits and habits.

When this episode was over and Diana raised her head again, the man sitting on the bedside had disappeared, only the white curtain floated slightly.

"Mysterious guy!"

The Amazon princess packed up her delicate mood, shrank into the quilt, and thought to herself.

...

...

Midtown, police station.

Barry Allen awoke from the darkness and opened his eyes.

He seemed to have slept for a long time. He didn't regain his energy, but felt very tired.

"I don't want to wake up your dreams. The police station is very busy these days. You really need to rest, but Barry, you still have a lot of work to do."

The voice of adoptive father Joe reached Barry's ears.

The other party held a cup of coffee and handed it over.
